So in your opinion Wilko would you go by 3 different applications of the 10A +30% calc and cover all (15kW) on one 50A control switch or seperate radial say for one appliance and seperate isolator of course ?
Ha ha loads of them today ! Battle of Flowers on. Bongo bongo time lol, only the other Bong thing you'll find down where I surf but that's nothing to do with electrics :grimacing:

Hi all,
Just looking into a kitchen refit where the customer has gone a bit excitable with the cooking side of things !
Have done lots of installs with two appliances on the one circuit but anyone know of any issue with feeding three rather than run a new circuit for say the new hob alone ...
Thanks Paul, and thanks again for the special delivery from your lovely wife with your tester yesterday evening. Very helpful, and lovely family you all are. I'll see you in a little while for that beer in the sun ;)
Thanks chief, all I ended up doing was tripping it and pulling the fuse carrier out to see if that would work. I'll maybe run by on the way to next nice clean rewire tomorrow and check that. Adjusting old wiring is a pain ! & the green goo in there today plus midget scruits ....no wonder the...
Hey all, just spent best part of today final fixing the last kit at the wonky house !
So going over all seperately through the circuits I have so far concluded that the problem is definitely not on any of my new wiring, but is on the leg from the mcb to the rest of the downstairs lighting...
Yes bud, there was an existing cable left coiled in there builder has said customer had asked previous spark to leave ready for future use and second two legs for sockets, so I'd traced them back to upstairs ring removed old jb they'd used under floor and checked all cables and used to feed a...
No nothing like that, only original garage roof joists then a stud frame on concrete pad at rear of garage which is an ensuite bathroom. Unless builder has been slinging screws in all over the place !
I thought it was on the lighting circuit that has been extended into the extension and it is seemingly, but also caused by other circuits doing same thing to the meter. I was wondering if on the old wiring they had mixed up neutrals or borrowed one to have caused a weird fault !
Not found any yet but anything is a possibility in this place, found a random old square junction box from old wiring stashed under floor upstairs too and is all over the place cables old and new in a spaghetti mess ! Thanks.
So with playing last thing yesterday I had killed power and all breakers closed except the 3 x rcbo's which obviously stopped the ramp up to IR test due to internals I'm guessing.
With set on 500V and one lead croc clipped to bus bar and other to earth bar the tests ramp up to 349V max but when...
You're an absolute star Paul, cheers and when you're next over ( if you are ) let's get you out for a beer & thank you ! Thanks again, I'll pm in a few mins mate, Matt
Wow that's so cool of you mate, have you seen IR issues with your 1721 then ?
& you say Sunday, as in tomorrow or next week? As am off on holiday a week today with the wife & kids so won't be here. If so thanks for the offer that's very kind.
Thanks Wilko, I've been running around disconnecting odd items, any switches with neons etc, tv boosters, anything & everything but not sure what else it could be. I'll try the cont test across N-E Monday cheers
